they are, or they were. I just damaged the front rhs 20 minutes ago when pulling into the workshop to have my cooler piping modified, part of the lip has been pulled out and the paint is cracked :(

I know i'm devastated, right before the car is finally ready to be driven on the street! I think i'll just get another sprayed up and put it behind me right away!

What was needed before being street-ready?

So who does body work for you normally?? I went to Pro Paint N Panel and they quoted $12,000 for a full respray! :aigo:

I fitted some new thermo fans as the one that was on there was very unreliable, so had to modify the cooler piping to get it all to fit! I've used a number of paint and panel places in the past with no success. Silvers motorbody do a pretty decent job with the gun.

took this pic last night with a better angle of my fitment:

the rear is fine as it is but im gonna go down to a 265/35 for a more aggressive look.

what do people think about a 235/40 on the front? pictured is a 245/40 but as you can see its too large. I'm tossing up between 225 and 235...

Guys I have a question. Tomorow I will be putting on my new wheels.

Fronts: 18x8.5 +30 with 245/40/18
Rears: 18x10+25 with 275/35/18

I'm dropped on Tokico Blues and H & R springs

I'm sure I'm fine with the front, but will I rub on the rear?

A 235/40 is what I was pricing up to put on the 8.5" D1R for fronts...

yeah, but are your fenders rolled/pulled? Because mine isn't and I want to keep it like that. Anyways, that looks just about perfect to me. I think I'm gonna be a happy camper come tomorow.

better indication with fitted 235s.......
May I ask why you would put a 235 on a 10.5" wheel? Just seems like a good way to stress a tire or dent a rim...

Anyone please!!! i need to know if these will fit.. and have a nice "poking" feel to dem =/

rear- 18x10 +38
front- 18x8.5 +32

Should fit just fine, given an appropriate sized tire. Stick 355's out back and you *might* have an issue or two with rubbing. ;)
